Frequently Asked Questions

Mindfulness is about bringing gentle awareness to the present moment, while meditation can take many forms, from focused attention to mantra or visualisation. Breathwork is different in that it is an active practice: you use specific breathing patterns to create shifts in the body and nervous system. This can bring deep relaxation, emotional release, and altered states of awareness that feel more immediate than traditional stillness practices. 

My group Conscious Connected Breathwork sessions are held in person, creating a shared space for the group experience. My Restorative Coaching sessions are available both online and in person, depending on what works best for you. Recalibrate: Burnout Recovery is offered online, while workshops can be delivered either in person or online.

Breathwork is generally safe for most people, but high ventilation practices such as Conscious Connected Breathwork are not suitable for everyone. Conscious Connected Breathwork is not offered during pregnancy.

People with certain medical conditions, including severe heart or respiratory conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, recent surgery, or serious mental health conditions, should consult their doctor before participating.

Conscious Connected Breathwork is also not offered to anyone under the age of 18 without parental consent and careful consideration of suitability. Other forms of breathwork may be appropriate for children.

Safety is always a priority, and sessions are adapted to meet individual needs.

During breathwork, it’s common to notice sensations such as tingling, vibrations, warmth, or gentle shaking. These can happen for several reasons: changes in breathing can shift oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, stimulate the nervous system, or slightly shift circulation due to oxygenation levels in the body. They can also be a sign of energy or tension being released, stored emotions processing, or the body moving through a mild altered state of consciousness. Everyone experiences these sensations differently, and they are generally a normal part of the breathwork process.
